Series Bonanza

For the past few weeks, various series have been premiering in the US and the fever have caught up with my friends and I as well. After the mistimed writer's strike which caused many series to be stopped half way or to end abruptly, this new season of series really got a lot of people ecstatic.

As for myself, I follow Prison Break, Heroes and Chuck. I try my best not to start watching any new series as it'll be like digging my own grave as the exams are around the corner.

I watch this three series for different reasons.

I'd pick Prison Break as the best from the crop. The story line is just superb and it makes me wanting for more every time an episode ends.

Followed by Chuck in second place. I like the humor portion of it. Hopefully the second season will not be short of laughter as well.

And finally, Heroes. As usual it all started with a lot of question marks all over it. Hopefully I don't have to wait till next season to answer those questions. And I watch Heroes for 4 main reasons.

GOD!! There goes my exam (preparation)!!

Obsessions

My close friends would know that I'm obsessed with two things. Football jerseys and shoes. Although lately jerseys have overtaken the shoes in terms of collection, I still go crazy over Nike Air Force Ones..especially if they are limited edition. Recently I came across this custom made Air Force One. Although its not a limited edition material, its worth mentioning due to the work of art done on it.


Do you see what I see?
(Leave me a comment on what you see..)

Hitz.fm Viewing Party

Last Sunday, my friend, Su Ann and I went to Republic Pyramid for the Che vs Man Utd viewing party organized by Hitz.fm. How I managed to get the passes u may ask. I basically called them up and I went on AIR!!! The DJ that answered my call was Natalie.

Natalie looks very tall and thin in real life.

Our phone conversation went something like this

Natalie: Hello thanks for calling Hitz.fm. May I know who is on the line please?
Me: I'm Saravanan.
Natalie: So it's S-A-R-A-V-A-N-A-N?
Me: Yes.
Natalie: So you rooting for Man Utd or Che?
Me: Man Utd.
Natalie: Okay Saravanan, I want you to sound happy. Can you do that for me?
Me: Yes.
And so the recording started.
Natalie: So Saravanan, why do you think Man Utd is going to win on Sunday?
Me: Urm..because Man Utd going to end Chelsea's home record.
Natalie: Wohoo..congrats. You've just won two passes for the Hitz.fm viewing party at Pepublic Pyramid.
Me: Okay
Natalie: Say the okay a bit more happier
Me: :-S..OKAY
Natalie: Let's try that again.
Me: OOKKKAAYYY!!!
Natalie: Good!

And so our conversation ended there. Didn't knew saying a simple okay can be so tedious.

On Sunday night Su Ann and I went. Due to the insufficient passes, her bf was not able to join us. Sorry Wai Kit.


The atmosphere there not bad. Free flow of drinks/beer and food thanks to the passes. Natalie, Ean and Jean are the Hitz DJs that turned up for the party.

At the end of the day, Man Utd lost their solitary goal advantage in the 80th minute and the game endded as stalemate.

Check out the Asian among the spectators. Such a cunning laugh he has. As though he jus managed to con someone to buy his ciplak product

Overall, it was a enjoyable day meeting new people and meeting the Cruisers who were extra nice towards us, especially Su Ann =P

Something Funny

Sorry for the lack of update for the past week or something. There's been really nothing going on in my life that is worthy of a post. Even my FYP progress have come to a halt after my presentation. Shh..don't tell this to Dr Kenny k. Keep it a secret between us..

I was browsing the web out of boredom and I came across this page that states some of the worst company domain names in the internet. So let me break it down for you, in no certain order.

1. www.expertsexchange.com

2. www.whorepresents.com
Want to bring Paris Hilton to your crib? This is where you find their representatives.

3. www.penisland.net
Need a longer lasting, easy to grip...pens? You've come to the correct place.

4. www.therapistfinder.com
Need to fix your nagging back pain? They'll find it for you. maybe the do something else as side business as well.

5. www.powergenitalia.com
It doesn't get better than a power generator company based in Italy. Does it? And the site in under construction. To give you a bigger and better, generator of course.

Hope this cheered you up a bit. Have a nice day.

Summer Steamboat

After our presentation, we met up for dinner at this buffet steamboat restaurant called Summer Steamboat Buffet at Mentari Court to celebrate Tommy's 22nd (02/09/08) and Caroline's 21st (04/09/08) birthdays.

Nothing much to say in this post except we basically owned the place with the amount of noise that we generated. So I'll let the pictures do the talking.

All happily munching away

And lastly, group photo without 4 others including Tommy who went back early

Presentation

Its been while since I last updated. Actually there have been a lot of things to talk bout. But i think I'll break them up so that the post does not end up to be super long and its taking ages to upload the photos (sorry for the blurry pics). In this post as well, I will introduce some of my classmates that make my clock tick by the day.

After all the butterfly flying in my stomach and hourly visit to the loo, my proposal presentation was not as bad as I expected to be. I'd say my presentation was above average which was reflected through the marks that I got for my performance (4/5). But if I start comparing with some students who sets the bar very high (4.75/5), I'll be a very sad boy.

Yours truly in action minus the shaky leg

Making his first appearance in my blog, none other than my FYP partner, TPK @ Tham Pak Kwan

I had to say both TPK and myself did a good job in presenting our slides. Although I have to admit my legs were shaking uncontrollably when delivering my speech, I think the long pants did a good job.

I did not stammer nor did I forget my lines. Thanks to my blabbering like a retard sitting in front of the computer screen and practicing my lines.

We were worried we might get bombarded with some tough questions because there was this lecturer who can't stop asking questions for each and every presentation done. But miraculously, he just kept quiet during our Q&A session. And another thing to note was our supervisor, Dr Kenny ffk us just when we wanted to present. Okay he didn't actually walked off on us. He was about to have class when we were out to present. So the person who evaluated us is none other than Dr Kenny's best friend, Dr Keith.

of the 3 Jasons' in my class. 1 This is Ng

The youngest yet the smartest girl in our class, Caroline. After her presentation, the number of people in the classroom was reduced to half. No presents for guessing why

PS - There have been some complaints from my friends who read this blog saying that this blog of mine is turning into a FYP progression report. Well, sorry guys, I can only write what revolves around my life. I know, my life is sad.
